The Syndicate

Okay, roles will go out in half an hour, tops.

Game will proceed afterwards.

Goodbye you! Sign-up Thread

Please note that there will be minor adjustments to the roles, which I will not update here, but rather in the rolecards you will receive and the game's front page. So basically, focus on those, when the time comes.

Tomorrow evening, if I survive this cold I just got.

Thank you for signing up and for your patience. Godspeed yall! great people.

Replacements are good too, you never know.

[hosting intensifies]

(Meaning I should get on writing some host material.

But in all honesty, I will either be exerting myself to get the Host Posts just the way I would have liked them, or I will just post GYBE songs. Life's a bitch.)

Sloonei, get yr friend to reply to yr invitation.

Alternatively, G-Man or Quin, get yr ass in here.

Alternatively, 1 more, whoever you are.

Sorry, Ben, no socks allowed. This is not even R.E.M. mafia.

My work here is done.

Except wait, I still have a game to host.

Crap.

It's an absolutely amazing album. I'll be listening to it again for sure during the game, probably on repeat.

Not sure I'd go that far myself.

Lift yr skinny fists like antennas to heaven for the last four players needed \o/

Awesome. Welcome.

We. Are. Ff- no, wait, 8 (or 6) more lets go.

Cool. 11 more lets go. (Or 9, should the maybe gentlemen change their mind)

He played in both my heists, lel.

He's probably recovering after giving it 300% (out of 0) in the Hydra game.

what's Lizzy up to these days? I'd be up for a VAL reunion.

0% chance, she probably doesn't even like the band.

but it seems we can push for a VA right now

or we can try any initials combination, because anyone signing up would be awesome

Rico games traditionally take a month to fill, so I think you'll have enough respiro after Mad Max to decide later.

If it starts in a week, will you have the energy then? How about two weeks?

Also, bring da wombat with you.

True, but too lazy.

Seems to be going as slow as the chord progressions in any post-rock album.

Yes, break all rules, kiss your loved ones goodbye, 17 more lets go.

Someone should reach out to triceratopszeuhl, I notice he liked the idea of this game, back in design phase. (Of course that was millennia ago).

The Dead Flag Blues "I open up my wallet and it's full of blood" [Secrets]


East Hastings "If money could buy optimism, my love..." [Secrets]


Providence "But d'you think the end of the world is coming? So says the preacher man but... I don't go by what he says" [Secrets]


Sunshine + Gasoline (2) "That's right they're just walkin' around doin' nothin', even on their own" Do not share BTSC and do not know each other's identity, but can send each other a message via the Host during each Night. Can win as a team. Their assigned roles can be affected by Storm. [Secrets]


Storm One-shot temporary disruption of BTSC among the Mafia (lasting a full subsequent cycle) and one-shot permanent role shuffle among the civilians credited with BTSC. Storm can choose a separate occasion to activate either of these powers.


Static Can block a player during each Night.


09-15-00 (2) Share BTSC. Can win as a team. Their assigned roles can be affected by Storm.


Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls Once in the game, can drop a rocket that will block all actions throughout that phase.


Motherfucker = Redeemer (2) Do not begin the game by sharing BTSC, but can search for each other during each Night (in addition to their individual ability). Can win as a team, if they gain BTSC. Randomly, one player will be assigned to role check a living player every odd Night. If the checked player is Mafia, it will have a 50% chance to also kill him. The other player will be assigned to role check a dead player every even Night. If the checked victim is Civilian, it will have a 50% chance to resurrect him. Both the kill and the resurrect will be activated automatically and work only once, regardless of the outcome. M=R can continue, however, to role check accordingly afterwards. Their assigned roles can be affected by Storm, once they gain BTSC.

If either checks ???, something will happen. If the role checker checks Alfothad, something will happen to the checker.


We Drift Like Worried Fire Each Night, can choose to drift a player away from the lynch poll during the subsequent Day. Three-shot.


Piss Crowns Are Trebled Can choose, once in the game, to treble its vote’s worth during the subsequent Day, but upon doing so, a random civilian, mafioso or independent will also be empowered with the same amount during the same Day phase.

???

Moya Kills every night. If Sleep is lynched or night killed first, inherits the role block.


Sleep "They don't sleep anymore on the beach..." Sends a player to sleep during each Night, blocking his actions that Night and preventing him from posting and voting during the subsequent Day phase. If Moya is lynched or night killed, Sleep is the first to inherit the kill, in order to send a player to sleep forever. If Sleep kills, he cannot use his regular power during the same Night. [Secrets]


Mladic "With his arms outstretched" Ecstatic dance of the tyrant. [Secrets]

All Lights Fucked on the Hairy Amp Drooling - further referenced as ALFOTHAD (the cassette) or Alfothad (the player).

Highly rare and esoteric (and, if we are to trust the two-track leak as genuine, completely nonsensical) first release by the band, self-released but limited to only 33 copies. In 2013 a person reported on a social network to be in possession of this legendary cassette. That person vanished from the website shortly afterwards. Nothing is known about the existence of the other 32 owners. The band is not interested in revealing the cassette to its fans. As such, Alfothad will clearly not want any other player to know of its identity. Alfothad will be alerted and start killing when [Secrets]
